To Receive The Undivided Attention of a Friend

I'm taking it all in right now poem 2012

How wonderful it is
when a person gives you
her undivided attention!

If only for a moment,
you feel alive.

Someone noticed you,
someone cared,
somebody listened
wholeheartedly
to whatever it is you’ve got to say.

In a world where there are
so many busy people,
too busy to care
or even look your way,
such moments are God-given,
such friends are gifts,
such moments are joys
so close to heaven itself.

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

Hi Jocelyn .. paying attention to anyone, when you’re having a conversation is so important .. otherwise we’ll won’t know exactly what was happening.

I often get distracted when I realise someone hasn’t actually taken on board what I’m saying .. and therefore isn’t relating to me at all .. but then I let it wash over me!

Enjoy the day .. Hilary
